My Lover's Touch

I know I'm not skinny,
I know I'm not perfect, 
But I want someone to love me, 
To show me I'm worth it.

I come with a past,
Just like everyone else, 
There's so much love in my heart, 
Even after loving myself. 

I want to take care of you, 
'Til death do us part,
But right now I'm alone, 
And broken is my heart. 

This love I have to give, 
Hurts me so much, 
My heart aches for, 
My lover's touch. 

Trying to love material things, 
Isn't the same as loving you, 
But until I find my lover,
Material things'll have to do. 

This longing in my heart, 
Makes my soul ache so much, 
Nothing will cure it, 
Except my lover's touch.
